Doesn’t matter what you say, how you present it, the depth of your description, there’s always more to the role than even you know. And the only one who’ll ever understand for sure … the person you’re hiring. Which presents a risk. Will they stay?
The good news is most times they do.
Your island’s special strangeness is just a different kind of strangeness to everywhere else. And anyone who’s been travelling the oceans will adapt just fine.
